Has Jelly ever been LoTM?

hyper-neutrino

i'll go check, but it doesn't need to be

the point is to get more attention on less frequently used languages and Jelly definitely does not need the extra attention :P

A username

True.

hyper-neutrino

02:09

it's more for languages that are good but have too small of a userbase to get some visibility to sort of make it known to the community, like vyxal for example

the mainstream languages like jelly and 05ab1e, not so much :D

lyxal

> It should not be one of our most commonly used languages on PPCG. The point of this event is to bring attention to lesser-known languages. We don't need to bring more attention to Python or JavaScript. Suggested rule of thumb: if there are fewer than 10 PPCG users who regularly golf in this language, it's a good nomination.*

(taken from the nominations post)

hyper-neutrino

so far, all LOTMs in reverse order are Vyxal, Vim, Factor, Whispers, Scala, Rust, Forth, Husk, R, SMBF, Japt, QBasic, MATL, Brain-Flak, and Brachylog

all of which I'd say are still quite uncommonly used languages (comparatively)

@Razetime lol I've had a -392 change

Worth it though

Redwolf Programs

@Ausername I have the data from an excruciatingly detailed search of answers for a different project, I forgot the exact order but I believe Jelly, Python, and JS were the top three

More Python 2 than Python 3 IIRC

A regular SEDE query probably wouldn't give you a very accurace count

I'll run it again in an hour or so and give you a more exact answer

A username

03:52

@RedwolfPrograms Js gang!

Redwolf Programs

Python and JS are probably higher than Jelly, since all of the different versions are counted separately currently so they all appear to be lower than the actual total.

A username

Did you search for ES6?

Redwolf Programs

That was one of the top languages, with over 4k answers, so when you add it to the other high ranking JS ones it's probably the highest

I'll see if I can get some code working tonight to classify versions of the same language as subsets, so that I can get a more complete picture

A username

You could try searching for  or similar.

Redwolf Programs

Doesn't work for most languages, though

True.

hyper-neutrino

well vyxal does it so, yes

Wasif

@pxeger why suddenly this (the rules for post flagging)? Has something wrong happened here?

pxeger

@Wasif it's just an FYI to help clean up bad submissions

You'd have to ask @hyper-neutrino, but I don't think it's in response to something wrong in particular

Wasif

@rak1507 I have an idea to move all/most commands to command line flags, is it OK

pxeger

@Wasif in that case, almost certainly no

rak1507

15:04

¯\_(⍨)_/¯

Wasif

What if I count the flags

rak1507

it probably is ok but don't expect many upvotes

caird coinheringaahing

@Wasif IIRC there's been a few NAA flags on invalid answers, so HN's just reiterating the flagging policy

Wasif

Oh i see

hyper-neutrino

yeah caird's correct. basically a couple of invalid submissions have been getting NAA flags which sends them to the VLQ review queue and doesn't show me the flag for an hour

15:08

i think my record was 140-ish but that was more of a fluke than anything

just got lucky with not missing any keys

CMQ: with one-handed typing, which hand are you faster with?

rak1507

that was a fluke there I normally get around 100-110

hyper-neutrino

oh lol

rak1507

15:19

@hyper-neutrino right

hyper-neutrino

i just got 52 with right and 54 with left so... probably not much of a difference :P

caird coinheringaahing

15:33

@hyper-neutrino The problem I have with a lot of these sites is that I don't type those words in that order :P I can type sentences faster than just a paragraph of disjointed words, and I can type even faster if I know what I;m about to type (from my thoughts, rather than from a list)

hyper-neutrino

@cairdcoinheringaahing that's true :P play.typeracer.com is good in that case i guess; it gives text excerpts

but even then it's still like

read + type together, not type from what you're thinking

though if you mess up in this one you have to correct it

caird coinheringaahing

That's another thing :P If I mess up, I generally leave it (if it's readable), unless I'm typing something important. And in that case, I don't care about doing it quickly, I care about doing it correctly :P

hyper-neutrino

that too. also, i find correcting myself more difficult in a typing test's UI than if i'm just typing :P

caird coinheringaahing

Clearly the most reliable metric is to just time yourself writing a decently sized document :P

I know that it takes me ~15 minutes to fully write a tag wiki, and they're usually half a page long :P

hyper-neutrino

16:00

well you still have to like

think about what to write :P

there isn't really a good metric for typing speed, tbh, and i don't think it matters that much :P because you either have to also think about what you're going to write, or read and comprehend the words that you need to type (for a typing test)

and if you remove both of these steps and just spam random letters that doesn't work either cuz hguihaseriughilserughluiasgluaehrlgui takes me much less time to type than any legit sentence of that length :P

I used to be of the line below way of thinking but I've now learned better.

user

Why? (I agree, just asking for reasons)

lyxal

It looks much neater

And code folding looks better too

Wzl

@user depends :)

Redwolf Programs

CMQ: Curly braces, significant whitespace, or something else?

user

Huh, I actually find the C# way with new lines for braces nicer

Wzl

22:54

@RedwolfPrograms something else

user

@RedwolfPrograms Booth

lyxal

@RedwolfPrograms bold of you to assume I have more than one line of code :p

Redwolf Programs

@user go away :p

A username

@user Sam line

Wzl

@user like this:

user

22:55

@Wzl What would you suggest (same line for control flow, separate ine for functions)?

@RedwolfPrograms I'm dead serious

@Ausername May I ask why?

A username

separat eline

lyxal

@user you're not dead serious, you're user.

A username

@user Idk, I think it looks better.

Wzl

if (condition)
{ const smt = a;
  const smtelse = b;
  return expr }

user

@Ausername I'm having trouble with this keyboard, okay?

lyxal

22:56

@user because the line is owned by sam

user

@Wzl Oh god

A username

Besides, different line just takes up extra space

Redwolf Programs

Jo King is lucky, they're the only one resistant to "You're not joking, you're ..." comments

lyxal

@Ausername you're lucky that Sam manages your lines

Wzl

@user or:

user

22:57

@Ausername Makes sense

A username

@lyxal Typo

user

@Wzl Please don't let loose any more of that formatting here

A username

@user You're not having trouble with this keyboard, okay?, you're user.

Wzl

if (condition)
{ const ...
; const ...
; return expr
}

Redwolf Programs

Oh no

That's awful

user

22:57

@Ausername Actually, that's my real name (I was named "Original Original Original VI" when I was born, but I changed my name yesterday)

lyxal

@Ausername that's the joke :p

user

@Wzl I saw you do your SML that way, and man is that ugly

It's slightly more understandable with commas, but still

Wzl

grins

user

But actually, if people had started out doing it your way, I would've found the way I do it now repulsive

A username

Wzl

it's my protest against languages other than scheme/lisp

user

I hate how subjective humans are

@Wzl (Sorry, (I (couldn't (hear (you (through (the (parentheses))))))))

@Ausername I've changed my mind, Wzl's method is beautiful compared to this
